Shrimp research in progress. 3 hapai(pregnant) opai(shrimp) in a

10 gallon aquarium all laden with eggs.

Been there for 3 days already. Also in the tank is a bunch of floating filimentious algae with much micro fauna(food for the zoea) for the babies(larvae called zoea.)

I will be testing a new larval food sent to me by the Ziegler Corp for this sort of crustetia.

With our natural food resources going down hill faster than a speeding bullet, aquaculture is one of the few bright spots to avoid mega famine. Especially so in the light our global population is approaching 7 billion and estimated to be 10 billion in 10 years.

The Bush guys are a bunch of LOLOs
